PLACES TO GO

Souq Waqif

Souq Waqif is a marketplace in Doha, in the state of Qatar. The Souq is noted for selling traditional garments, spices, handicrafts, and souvenirs. It is also home to dozens of restaurants and Shisha lounges.

Souq Wakra

Naturally, Al Wakra Souq is often compared to Doha’s Souq Waqif, with its mud rendered buildings and exposed wooden beams capture the nostalgic charm of yesteryear. However, the long stretch of pristine sandy beach and air mean that Wakra’s Souq is the perfect destination if you’re looking to escape the busy streets of the Capital. A waterfront promenade is lined with restaurants and cafés that are open until the early hours, providing outdoor seating areas for you to take in the crisp sea air long into the night. Along with the range of outdoor eateries, Al Wakra Souq is also home to an impressive selection of independent stores and boutiques, selling everything from traditional Arabic abayas to locally inspired trinkets. Despite lacking the busy, bubbling atmosphere that Souq Waqif offers, Wakra Souq offers a quieter more tranquil spot, perfect if you’re looking to chill out and unwind.

Gold Souq

Located in downtown Doha, next to the central bus station and Al Fardan Plaza, this gold market offers anything from very affordable imported bangles and chains to locally made bridal jewelry sets worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.
